So how did we make this gallery? This is an alphabetical list of our top 100 female users who selected their gender in the dropdown of the settings page and made it public-visible in their home. Of course there are many more great photos on our site, we just had to make a small selection. Thanks again to all of our female users for your great photos (not only today, but everyday).

@neja and @u-t-e: we just included people whose gender was selected and set as public visible (these are privacy settings after all). this list is not and was never meant to be complete (obviously) – it's just a gentle reminder of all the great people here.

Wow, thank you for making me a part of this. I'd like to thank the powers that be for deciding that I should be born a woman with a penchant for photography. I'd also like to thank my parents, and my manager, my publicist...all my fans... and everyone else I forgot. Thank you, thank you so much, this is for you *cue show music*

Aside from the Magazine, going through the User Blogs is another way to keep tabs on the latest happening in the community. Throughout the year, it was filled with articles on new discoveries, thought-provoking opinions, and exciting exhibits that surely entertained, challenged, and inspired everyone. Let's take a look back at the fruitful year through the most popular user blogs of 2014.
